Re: WG discussion: Nov 5, 2013: role=group technique

Draft example 3:
<div role="group" aria-labelledby="grplabel"><span id="grplabel">Travel mode:</span>
<span tabindex="0" role="checkbox"
      aria-checked="true" aria-labelledby="chk1" onkeydown="return checkBoxEvent(event);"
      onclick="return checkBoxEvent(event);">
<span id="chk1">By air
</span></span>
<span tabindex="0" role="checkbox" aria-labelledby="chk2" aria-checked="false"
      onkeydown="return checkBoxEvent(event);"
 onclick="return checkBoxEvent(event);"><span id="chk2">By train</span></span>
</div>
